<span style="font-size: large;">It's true!! I love using Ann Butler's Crafter's Inks to watercolour backgrounds! The watercolour look with such pretty colours! And those Iridescents...so shimmery and they dry so quickly!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you haven't tried Ann's stamps that she has designed you really need to try them out. They have no edges on the stamp so you can create a perfect continuous pattern.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is the completed card, followed by a few step outs! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">If you answered yes to any of these, then this is the blog hop for you! Make sure you visit all the amazing designers to see some fabulous projects! <a href="http://ritabarakat.com/" target="_blank">Rita Barakat Designs</a> and <a href="http://www.styletechcraft.com/" target="_blank">Styletech Craft</a> have joined forces to share some great ideas to show how well their products work together.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I dug around in my stash because I knew I had this little chair somewhere and knew it was perfect for this project!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I fussy cut <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/694064650/mermaid-tails-die-cuts-ephermera-art?ref=shop_home_active_2" target="_blank">Rita's marvelous mermaids</a> out and made a rough template for my chair. I then used my template to cut out the gorgeous glittery vinyl from Styletech! I used very different colours for me, but loved them for this project.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm sure I'm not the only that struggles with being/staying positive somedays. I have great days, but some days are hard. So what started as a challenge, turned into little embossed/foiled/stenciled/papered labeled wooden tags that now hang in my kitchen, where I can see them everyday!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There are no step outs on these little lovelies, just the finished projects and some close ups of the gorgeous texture. And I used some of my favorite companies to create these.</span></div>

<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For my project, I focused on best friends! We all have them, we love them and they need to be reminded too! Especially that bestie that knows way more than any person should, has seen all the crazy, has stood beside you and held you up when you couldn't stand on your own. I've been very fortunate to have a few of these people in my world. From over 40 years ago to 27 years ago to family that you've known since the day you were born!</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Happy Valentine's Day to all the amazing friends I have!</span></div>

<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Time for the project now!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">I started with a 5X7 canvas board and used Dina Wakely Black Gesso to cover it. Once that was dry I stamped a border with my Branch Out and Mushroom stamp from Emerald Creek. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">I moved that aside and then cut out a small piece from my Graphic 45 paper stash of Fairie Dust. I embossed the first letters with Kiss of the Fairy and did the border with Dragon's Egg.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Then it was time for the fairies!! Adorable little chipboard ones from Southern Ridge Trading Company. Let the embossing begin! For these little ones I used the Fairy Wings set and started with the base for all of them. The little bird was done with Mermaid Fin (such pretty glitter) </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Yes, that title is correct! Seth Apter spent three days teaching right here in Langley, BC, Canada at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ClipperStreetScrapbookCo/" target="_blank">Clipper Street Scrapbook Company</a>! And I got to be there for the Saturday and Sunday class.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyone else ever have an experience that you just can't fit in a Facebook post or Instagram blurb? Well that was my weekend. I don't even know if I have the words now to describe it, but I'm going to fumble all over myself and give it a try.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I think everyone knows how much I love my LSS, Clipper Street. I am grateful on a daily basis that I have this place to go to, for creative supplies, for inspiration, for a talk and a vent too. Deanna works so hard for us to bring in amazing teachers, all the newest product and the whole team is just amazing. Thank you Deanna and all the amazing team at Clipper Street! I did a post a couple of years ago about this fabulous place and you find that post <a href="http://amethystalcove.blogspot.com/2016/11/clipper-streetmy-local-scrapbook-store.html" target="_blank">HERE </a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I also wanted to give a shout out to the anonymous person that called or emailed Deanna at Clipper Street and generously paid for half of one of my classes. I do not know who it was, but that was an amazing kindess and I was a bit overhwhelmed by that gesture, Kim and Deanna can vouch for that. So to that person, thank you for your kindness!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I had the honor of meeting Seth a couple of years ago at Creativation when I was there with Emerald Creek. Sometimes I fan girl a bit (okay A LOT, there were witnesses to most of it LOL) and talking with Seth was no exception. But he talked to me like a peer and was so kind and gracious, I was just in awe of that experience. Then this weekend having him teach for two full days and being a part of that, mind boggling. Seth is so incredibly talented and so generous with sharing his knowledge. He was so encouraging in class and walked the room to help everyone! As I listened to him teach and learned new techniques, I also learned much more about creating and "letting your piece tell you what it wants/needs". I found learning from Seth to be such a stress free environment, even though I went in thinking "omg, what am I doing here, I shouldn't be here, I'm not good enough, what if i make a mistake, what if I put something in the wrong place" Trust me, you can have all those thoughts, but after a few minutes of being in class and listening to Seth and seeing him do a demo, those thoughts will disappear! You will feel like you belong there and if you have a question, ask it!! Seth is very open with his ideas and help and sharing his talent. I will always be so grateful for this opportunity and a huge thank you to Seth for how approachable he is, how gracious and kind he is and for sharing so much of his talent with the rest of us. It was an honour to have been in your class Seth.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The Saturday class was called Get Baked, featuring Seth's new Baked Texture Embossing Powders that he created with <a href="https://www.emeraldcreek.org/" target="_blank">Emerald Creek Craft Supplies</a>. Our first project was a small canvas using the Vintage Beeswax and learning some collaging and mark making.</span></div>

The afternoon was a larger canvas using all the Baked Texture powders. Learned so much about layering paints and creating focal points. And in case you're wondering, the answer is yes, Yes you do need all of the Baked Texture powders.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">If you're still hanging in here, thank you!! I know this is a long post! Sunday's class was called 52 Card Pick Up and it was an absolute incredible learning experience! I think one of the favorite classes I have ever been a part of. A deck of black gessoed cards and a day of getting painting, stamping, stencilling, collaging and NOT overthinking! Very freeing to just do/create and to do it in an environment where you have such an encouraging teacher that says "if I go left and you go right, that's okay"</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Not all 52 cards are completed, but they are ready for collaging! It was such an incredible experience and one I won't forget. Learning to just do and not overthink is a hard one for alot of us, but if you have the opportunity to take a class with Seth, do not miss it! You will learn so much more than just techniques.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I think it has been established that I love the beach/ocean/tropical and would create with that theme all the time! I'm very fortunate that lots of my fave companies have that theme! :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A few weeks ago I shared my first ornament created with fabulous <a href="https://chipboard.ca/" target="_blank">Southern Ridge Trading Company</a> chipboard, you can go back to check out that one <a href="http://amethystalcove.blogspot.com/2018/05/christmas-in-may.html" target="_blank">HERE</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I had a few more pieces left over and decided I needed another ornament. And here is the second one that I created.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The wooden tag is from SRTC and the wood like finish is actually a piece of napkin that I got from PEI last June. I used DW Gel Medium to put it on and it pulled apart in just the right places!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Almost the middle of June already!? I am loving the long days and how light it stays out! I also like that it's light out when I leave for work at 5:30am!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I finally used one of my favorite pieces! I wanted the <a href="https://chipboard.ca/products/top-hat" target="_blank">top hat</a>, I ordered the top hat....then all the ideas I had for the top hat were gone! Thankfully I had a new plan for it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I layered TH paper, Baked Texture, and a hint of DecoArt Foil and then jazzed it up with the pretty shimmery butterflies.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I guess it's obvious that I love beach/ocean/tropical related things! All year round but especially when it's actually beautiful and sunny out! I am so grateful that so many talented people have created products with these themes!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Just a quick share today. I played with some Graphic 45 Sun Kissed Collection, a canvas board, TCW Stencil from Rebekah Meier's designs and the glorious Baked Texture from Seth Apter and Emerald Creek.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I took a little bit of time to just play with some products that are not getting the attention they deserve!! LOL</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I really love the square canvas boards for creating on! I think it might be my new favorite base.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I didn't do any step outs on this one, I just played and embossed and stenciled.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Oh my word!! I saw the demo that Jess did in the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/blankpagemuse/" target="_blank">Blank Page Muse Stamps Fan Group</a> and fell in love with the designs from Pam Bray. Now up until this episode I wasn't a fan of flamingos, I liked them but had never thought of stamping or playing with the images. Then Pam and Blank Page Muse happened..darn you!! LOL Now I have them in my craft room! And I am so glad I do!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am not affiliated in any way, I just love these stamps! The detail and the gorgeous thick rubber is amazing to stamp with! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You need to see all the amazing images available from <a href="https://blankpagemuse.com/" target="_blank">Blank Page Muse. </a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I took Jess's suggestion and used my TH scissors to cut out my rubber and it was glorious! I then used some double sided tape on acrylic blocks to index all my new images! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Well this post is a bit late. My project was supposed to be up last week but for those that know me, know that my Grandmother passed away on Monday the 21st of May.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Wild Whisper ladies were kind enough to let me do my final project for them this week instead. It is a bittersweet project for me. It is my last project as a Wild Whisper DT member. These ladies have been so amazing to work with and for. Their products and designs are amazing and they work so hard to bring new and exciting collections to the creative world! It has been an honour and a privilege to work with their designs. Thank you Heather and Suzy for trusting me with your collections. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is my final project using the <a href="https://www.wildwhisperdesigns.com/collections/forever-always" target="_blank">Forever & Always Collection</a>. This is a picture from my grandparent's 60th anniversary party. They celebrated more anniversaries before my Grandfather passed away in 2013 and now they are together again.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Featuring the <a href="https://www.wildwhisperdesigns.com/collections/forever-always" target="_blank">Forever & Always Collection</a>, we've had a wedding planner for the bride, party favors for everyone to take home and now we have a thank you card for your guests. It's always good to thank everyone that helped you celebrate such a big day in your life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used the same Distress Marker colours that I used on the wedding favor, Bundled Sage and Seedless Preserves to create this pretty card.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I know, I know...crazy to be thinking of Christmas now! But because I have a beach themed Christmas tree and these <a href="https://chipboard.ca/products/large-wood-tags" target="_blank">wood tags</a> from <a href="https://chipboard.ca/" target="_blank">Southern Ridge Trading Company</a> are perfect for ornaments, I had to do it! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you love the <a href="https://chipboard.ca/t/oceanlake" target="_blank">beach/ocean</a> like I do, SRTC has got you covered! So many pieces and all the wood and chipboard work with any thing you want to colour them with! For this ornament I used Baked Texture Embossing Powders and Finnabair Sparks Paints. I wanted texture and shimmer!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is my new beach themed Christmas ornament thanks to all these amazing pieces from SRTC! And just so you know, the wooden tags come in a package of three, so there will be more ornaments for my tree!! I need to use my lobster and crab! :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Wild Whisper has yet another amazing collection! <a href="https://www.wildwhisperdesigns.com/collections/forever-always" target="_blank">Forever & Always</a> is so versatile and so pretty. I love that it has lots of colour and beautiful neutrals too.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For this week's project I made a wedding favor for the guests to take home. I used the <a href="https://www.wildwhisperdesigns.com/collections/forever-always/products/forever-always-12x12-paper-pack" target="_blank">12X12 paper pack</a> and a number of the great <a href="https://www.wildwhisperdesigns.com/collections/forever-always/products/forever-always-stamp-set" target="_blank">stamps from this collection</a>.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used an old box I had from a swap from years ago (made me feel a little less hoarder like because I used it lol) to create this little favor box.
